The whole truth and nothing but the truth about my husband, his parents, and me - That Woman.

Saturday, August 5, 2017

Ch 8 Sly and Doris thinks Michael is working really hard just to buy pot and I ask, Is that wrong? (OK, yes, I know it’s illegal, but morally? Is it wrong to smoke pot as long as you don’t hurt anyone else? I don’t think so)

Primo: My mom
and my dad are upset because even though Michael and Maria were home over break,
they didn’t visit except for Christmas dinner. My dad says they were too busy
working and took every shift they could get.

Me: Except for
the afternoon they went bowling with us. They like to hang out with us.

Primo: That’s because
we don’t scream at them.

Me: Maybe we
should. It does seem to be the way.

Primo: They
didn’t go see my mom and dad at all after Christmas, even though they just went
back to school today.

Me: What? The
kids didn’t want to return to the Scene of the Crime of the White Meat?

Primo: Nope.

Me: And also?
Don’t they complain that the kids spend foolishly? That they act like there is
a – and I quote – money tree? Shouldn’t they be glad that they both have are
working? It sounds like they have a good work ethic.

Primo: They
think Michael is working only to have money to buy pot.

Me: OK, first,
if that’s why he’s working, more power to him. I mean, I don’t think it’s a
good idea for him to be breaking the law – it’s risky – but if smoking pot is
the worst thing he is doing, that’s not too bad. Second, maybe he is working
because – I don’t know – he has a girlfriend? He has expenses at college?
Because he wanted to buy nice Christmas presents for his family?

Primo: Or maybe
the kids just don’t want to be screamed at. Maybe that’s why they are not
visiting my mom and dad.

About Me

Two weeks before our wedding, my husband's parents called to tell him 1. they weren't coming and 2. he shouldn't marry me. Since then, I have gotten along with them about as well as you might think. PS They died hating me and disinherited my husband. PPS None of this is made up.
And now, Primo is running for state-level public office for the November 2018 election. And - it's not fun. For either of us.
